Local Democrats Show Their True Colors

In January the new Democrat controlled County Council convened for their first regular meeting of the year and they made some very concerning appointments. Their appointment of three radical environmental activists is an obvious indicator of the direction they intend to steer the County over the next few years. Michael Englert or "Moss", to those of him that know him best, illegally trespassed a couple of years ago as a tree setter in an effort to stall a local housing project on the West side, has been appointed to the Metropolitan Planning Organization. Environmental activist and I-69 opponent Bill Hayden was appointed to the County Traffic Commission. Rounding out this radical anti-growth trio was Greg Travis, County Council member Sophia Travis’ husband, with his appointment to the County’s Economic Development Commission. These appointments should concern every citizen of Monroe County as they come from the same democrats that ran on a platform of diversity in the last election. They pledged to apply diversity and all the while their appointments are coming in the form of like-minded radical “green” activists. So much for diversity!
